ENVOYS REPORT
ON CONDITIONS
Military Affairs Body
Hears Ambassadors
WASHINGTON—OP}—Two Amer-
ican ambassadors brought confi-
dential information on European
conditions Tuesday to a secret
meeting of the senate and house
military committees which soon
will study the administration's de-
fense program .
The envoys—Joseph P. Kennedy
and William C. Bulllt ambassadors
to Great Britain and Prance res-
pectively—were expected to urge
adoption of the armament recom-
mendations to be made by Presi-
dent Roosevelt later this week.
Col. Charles A Lindbergh s re-
port on German air strength stood
high on the Hat of private informa-
tion likely to be brought before the
committee session.
This data represented first hand
information gathered during and
after the September Czechoslovak-
ian crisis. which Bullitt and Ken-
nedy watched from their key obser-
vation posts.
One report on European air
strengths which it was understood
; would be given the committee said
! that Great Britain and Prance
! capitulated at Munich when it was
' realized Germany outnumbered
them in the air at least two and pos-
sibly three to one. Germany it as-
serted. has been building planes at
the rate of at least 1.000 per month
with further plans for expansion.
Both Bullitt and Kennedy have
orivately expressed their doubts oi
continued peace in Europe. Togeth-
er with with other diplomats re-
cently reporting here they believe
Germany soon may start pressure
on Poland and Rumania to open a
corridor into the Soviet Ukraine
The latter then might be supported
in a separationist movement from
the Soviet Union.

WASHINGTON—• A*'— A senate
subcommittee considered a half
dosen protest* Friday against the
Supreme Court nomination of Fe-
lix Frankfurter liberal Harvard
law professor and New Deal ad-
viser.
The investigating group agreed
to hear several witnesses who have
objected to nomination and to re-
ceive a report of Frankfurters
qualifications from Dean G Ache-
son. Washington attorney.
Frankfurter declined an invita-
tion to attend the hearing at 9:30
a. m. Central Standard Time sav-
ing he had no wish to testify as to
his own qualifications and would
prefer not to leave his classwork
at Harvard.
There have been no objections to
Frankfurter's nomination from sub-
committee members but several ex-
pressed a wish to question him on
hi* attitude toward the Rooaevelt
court bill ahelved by the senate in
1937.

opinion that thousands of dollars
are being raised for the benefit of
the refugees.
British Defensive Strength Growing
i Also Chamberlain Is not un-
mindful of the recent personal in-
sult to himself. On December 11
he made a speech to the Foreign
Press Association In London. By
courtesy ho circulated advance
copies to the press. Having read
this the Oerman Ambassador and
the German journalists staved
away from the dinner. The Prem-
ier has his own shrewd suspicions
as to who ordered this boycott.
In the meantime too. England's
defense system Is being rapidly
increased It Is not so necessary
for Chamberlain to speak softly.
His big stick Is being built In the
shape of air raid precautions fight-
er and bomber planes and more
ships for the navy.
So the guess is that he will be
something other than easy clay In
the hands of potter Mussolini. The
Italian boss will get no encourage-
ment in his wild demands upon
French possessions. Neither will
he get very far In hla demands
that Franco be granted belligerent
rights.
The slow starvation of thou-
sands of Spanish women and chil-
dren in Loyalist Spain by German
and Italian ships and airplanes
flying the Spanish rebel flag and
attacking food ship* destined for
Barcelona and Valencia has arous-
ed public opinion in England So
has the sinking of British ships.
Chamberlain could not afford to
grant belligerent rights to Franco
which would allow the latter to
attack British ships far from
Spanish waters. Besides which the
French cabinet is at present adam-
snt against the proposition.

Chemurgy
Reviving
Old Idea
Castor Bean Study
Made Here
In ’66
BROWK0V1LLE — The manner
in which "new things' are In fact
a repititlon. and in which business
goes in circles is revealed in some
of the letters of the late Joseph
Kleiber who figured actively in the
life of Brownsville from the middle
of the past centurv over a period of
twenty years or more.
His letters reveal that the recent
Farm Chemurgic meeting at Glade-
water is reviving something that he
attempted here almost 75 years ago
—the growing of castor beans for
oil.
Thev reveal also a bitter fight at
that time between water and rail
transportation However the situa-
tion then was reversed in that it
was an infant railway Industry
«fom Brownsville to Port Isabel)
struggling against a well establish-
ed shipiine that of King. Kenedy
Ac Co.
Situation Differs
The pan of the old letter* deal-
ing with the castor bean industry*
Is of particular Interest at this time
in view of the fact that Brownsville
Is now' working to bring about the
establishment Of the Industry in-
cluding a large producing firm area
and the machinery to press the
beans.
The industry upon which Mr
Kleiber worked in 1866 and 1867
was different from that of todav.
however He proposed to produce
only castor oil of the medicinal var-
iety. whereas present plans call for
production of an oil to be used in
place of linseed oil.
The letters were presented to the
University of Texas by J. K Wells
of this city a grandson of Mr Klei-
ber A ropy of the volume referring
to the castor bean industry is now
in the hands of John H Hunter of
Brownsville.
Information Sought
The letters first mention the bean
In 1866 on Sept 18 A communica-
tion to H. M Shepard of New Or-
leans says. "I received your letter
regarding growing the bean and
thank you for the suggestion. I
want to go to work and find out
w* have embarket upon a good or
bad enterprise.M He asks fog sketch-
es of the machinery for pressing
the bean
A letter to Mr Shepard written
October 18 says thattMr Kleiber
had received a draft of the ma-
chinery. drawn to scale and was
ready to commence work on the
building.
There Is mention In this letter
of different color stalks and dif-
ferent kinds of beans He mentions
that Nester Maxan. law partner of
Stephen Powers ordered some of
the beans from the ckv of Leon. In
Mexico. There were "said to be su-
perior to any known lr. this region "
He also doubled his seed order
asking for 20 bushels.
Business Stalls
On January 12. 1867 there is a
letter to his brother. Qml Kleiber
in which he mentions the castor oil
business and says It is at a stand-
still. However subsequent letters
show that It was revived.
There is mention at this time
of a cold wave that froze castor
beans tha* had apparently grown
up wild in spots which Mr Kleiber
savs were eight years old.
A letter to Shepard on June 20
of the next year 1867. asks for 20
bushels (ft planting seed and says
that 12 bushels have already been
planted The machx.erv was on
hand he said He asked for de-
tails of the castor bean growing

area.

written to the castor bean enter-

Mr. Kleiber explained. “I pre-
sume you have heard of the hurri-
cane which has swept over the
country. My losses amoisited to
at least $15000 In Matamoros alone
M\ farm up the river was entirely
destroyed — houses and growing
crops of com. beans and castor
beans—"
Still Found Wild
There is a letter dated Decem-
ber 3 of the following year. 1868.
to John V. Gow oT Gonzales. Texas
in which Mr. Kleiber says he re-
grets the failure of the crop at
Gonzales.
Then a letter of the same day to
a Galveston man explains the end
of the venture here. “Maxan and
myself sold our castor oil machin-
ery to the Gonzales Manufacturing
Co-
lt Is believed that the castor beans
' found growing wild in many sec-
tions near here came from these
early beans.
